How to Make Incredible Peach Upside Down Cake
- **Topping:**
- In a 9 1/2 or 10-inch nonstick oven-proof skillet, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 3 teaspoons water.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, swirling the pan constantly, for about 5 minutes, or until the sugar caramelizes to a light amber color.
- Carefully remove from heat. (Caramel will be hot!)
- Stir in 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon peach schnapps (optional) until smooth and combined.
- Let the caramel cool slightly. Arrange about 6-8 fresh peach halves, cut into slices, in the caramel, overlapping them to cover the bottom of the pan.
- **Cake:**
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar using a hand mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
- On low speed, alternately add the dry ingredients and 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter evenly over the peaches in the skillet.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the skillet on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
- Run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the cake to loosen it.
- Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
